Lucia gritted her teeth and plucked up the courage to ask, "Do you hate to see me with another man?"
She wasn't allowed to have dinner with another man while he had another woman outside? What was
the logic behind it? Besides, she didn't think he would mind it even if she had another man.
After all, the two of them hadn't reached the point of falling in deep love with each other.
He was simply furious because of his pride and face as a man? Or did he just think that she should
unilaterally stick to the principles in marriage? Looking at the woman's stubborn look, August wrinkled
his eyebrows and moved his taut lips.
Before he could say anything, heavy knocks on the door came from outside.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Following that was Jamie's voice with anger.
"Open the door, August!"
August's face darkened terribly as he heard that.
He felt like the other man here and now when he was actually Lucia's husband Lucia can't help but
frown, hearing the voice outside.
She was about to speak when she felt the sudden grip on her wrist.
August opened the door of the ladies' room with a click and looked at Jamie outside with his cold dark
eyes.
Jamie paused before he reacted.
He raised his eyes to look at Lucia and asked, "Are you all right, Lucia?"
With that, he tried to step forward.
Suddenly, a strong arm came over and directly pressed against his shoulder, stopping him from moving
forward.
Jamie's face darkened abruptly.He looked at August warily.
"What? You want a fight?"
August's face was sullen and cold as he said word by word, 'Think about whom you are, Jamie."
Those words sounded so powerful, intimidating, and irrefutable.
Instantly, Jamie found himself speechless as his face turned blue and red.
After all, August was Lucia's lawful husband while Jamie was just her suitor.
Before Jamie could say anything, August had already pulled Lucia towards the door with quick steps.
Just as they reached the door, Burton quickly came over with a somewhat anxious look on his face.
"Mr.Adams, they're all waiting for you to go back."
Only then did Lucia know that August had an appointment here.She struggled, trying to get her hand
out of the man's grip.
"Let go of me.I can go back on my own."
August didn't let go of her.
Instead, he turned to Burton and said in a deep voice, "Tell them I'm leaving now and the cooperation
can be discussed later."
With these words, he stepped out of Brilliand with Lucia.
Having been half pulled into the car, Lucia took a deep breath and watched as the man next to her
furiously started the car and fastened his seat belt.She knew that August was really angry this time.
It was unusually silent on their way back.
Lucia could feel the oppressive atmosphere in the car.She managed to brace herself without even
turning to look at the man.
This time, she wouldn't back down.
The car stopped at the house.
Lucia pushed open the door and got out of the car without saying a word.
Just after a few steps, she heard the door of the car closed with a bang behind her, and soon the
footsteps of the man approached.
"Lucia, let's talk: "I have nothing to talk about with you."
Lucia didn't slow down her pace as she spoke.
Watching the stubborn woman from behind, August frowned and stopped short of telling her what he
meant to talk about.
If he told her all about his purpose of marrying her at this point, he was afraid that she would be even
more furious.
August clenched his fists slightly and managed to hold back his urge to tell the truth.
It would be better to wait until they both calmed down.
Seeing the woman disappear up the stairs, he stood where he was, paused for a few seconds, and
turned to stride out the door.
"Sir..."
August had just reached the door when he heard a voice coming from the side with a bit of hesitation.
Turner stood at the door of the kitchen with a hint of concern on her face.
August paused and said in a deep voice, "Take care of her."
With that, he stepped out directly August didn't come back in the next three days.
On the third morning, the look on Lucia's face changed as soon as she smelled the pancakes at the
table and an uncontrollable wave of nausea swept over her.
She covered her mouth and had dry heaves.
Turner saw this and rushed up to her.
"Why are you feeling sick again?"
Something similar had happened at dinner last night.
Turner had thought it was because Lucia was so upset after the fight with August that she lost her
appetite.
She hadn't expected that the same thing would happen again today.
Turner was somewhat worried, "Shall we call Dr.Tumulty, asking him to come over and check on you?
Is it because of the medicine you have been taking these days?"
Lucia waved her hand despite feeling sick.
"It's okay, Turner."
She didn't want to bother anyone associated with the Adams family too much.
Besides, she was in a bad mood these days and it was natural that she didn't feel like eating anything.
Turner had to listen to Lucia.
She put the pancakes aside and heated a glass of milk for Lucia.
However, Lucia still had little appetite and she couldn't eat anymore after having a bun.
Turner said, "Have a dumpling.It's not greasy."
The look on Lucia's face changed as soon as she heard that.
She got up immediately, rushed to the bathroom, and started vomiting into the toilet, The small bun that
she had just managed to eat was vomited up.
Turner patted Lucia on the back.She felt that something was wrong as she thought about it.
"Are you...pregnant?"
Lucia was startled at those words.
"It's...It's impossible!"
Turner said hesitantly, "But you look like..."
Lucia straightened up and rinsed her mouth.She was a little nervous, thinking about what Turner had
said.
On second thought it was really possible.
Lucia turned to Turner, took a deep breath, and said, "I'm going to the hospital for an exam today,
Turner.We'll find it out then."
"Okay, I'll go with you."
Lucia smiled at her and politely declined.
"No, thanks.Aren't you going to see your granddaughter this afternoon? I'll just go by myself."
"Okay then...Do you want me to tell Mr.Adams about this?"
"No,"
Lucia took a deep breath and said immediately.
"I'll tell him after the exam."
Hearing that, Turner nodded.
"Okay."
Back in her room, Lucia packed her things and immediately got up, ready to go to the hospital.She
didn't know what to do if she really was pregnant at this point.She walked out of the house, crossed the
path, and got out of the villa area.She was trying to hail a taxi online when an orange one came over.
The front window was rolled down, revealing the face of a simple, honest middle aged man.
"Where are you going, girl?"
Lucia put away her phone.
"I'm going to the hospital."
The driver grinned at her.
"Get in."
Lucia didn't refuse.She opened the door and got into the car.
The car slowly turned around and the driver looked at her in the rearview mirror.
"Which hospital are you going to Lucia hesitated for a moment.
Before she decided, the driver asked, "Are you going to the hospital for yourself? Lucia said lightly.
"Yes, I want to have an exam."
"Okay, I know a good hospital."
With that, the driver turned the wheel straight away.
"The Essence Hospital is clean and upscale."
Lucia had vaguely heard of this hospital before.
Now that she couldn't think of any other hospital, she followed the driver's advice and said, "Then let's
go there."
Anyway, she was just going to the hospital for a simple gynecological examination.
